Michelle Yeoh on 'The Lady': 'It was like riding a wave' - video

Luc Besson is best known for producing hi-energy shlock these days, and Michelle Yeoh is a renowned action star herself. So when the two finally combine, we get... a gentle, personal portrait of real-life pro-democracy campaigner and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi, of course.

To mark this week's release of The Lady, Digital Spy sat down with Michelle to talk about Besson, Burma and the brilliance of on-screen partner David Thewlis.
